A lot of the lagging is not actually so much a problem with your PC in itself but an averaging of all the data between all the PC's in a particular location.
My current PC is an aging Gaming Rig I built about 4 years ago and even though it is 4 years old it is quite fast even by todays standards.
I run Dual 7800 GTX video cards in SLI mode 2 gigs of DDR2 ram and 3.0 Ghz dual CPU.
Playing the game on max settings and max resolution is not an issue (can play FEAR and DOOM 3 at max settings as well as Crysis)
However even though I have a relatively fast PC when it comes to privateering all means absolutely nothing. nada I get lagging just as much as everyone else but there are ways to speed things up.
Turn down your video settings. even though my machine can handle the game flawlessly at max settings the lower the settings the less information is SHARED online through the network .....the less information the faster you can play.
also if you plan on crewing with other players be advised that on any crew the whole ship will respond as quickly as the slowest PC onboard. Simply stated you can have a single crew member pop onboard when you have had zero problems and then all of a sudden your playing in slow motion and the ship is suffering from major lagging. Why? the new crew member has a very very slow PC and it is causing everyone around to lag as well.
This is not a guess but something that has been verified time and time again.
